Hour 2: Karoline Leavitt steps down · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: We want to get right to John Decker, wo R
0:02
Speaker 1: White House and Washington Correspondent, host of the podcast by
0:05
Speaker 1: the Way, The White House Briefing Room with John Decker,
0:09
Speaker 1: which is excellent when you can find that on the
0:11
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. John, I want to start with something that
0:16
Speaker 1: was announced recently and it got everybody's attention that US
0:20
Speaker 1: Attorney Janine Piro made, which is a rare move to
0:25
Speaker 1: convene a twenty three member special grand jury in Washington, DC.
0:31
Speaker 1: I know a lot of the publications have noted this
0:33
Speaker 1: came after she got it talking to with the White
0:36
Speaker 1: House for what Trump considers dropping the ball on the
0:40
Speaker 1: reflecting pool damage. I don't know if the two are
0:43
Speaker 1: related at all. We probably don't even know what this
0:45
Speaker 1: is all about. But could you explain what a special
0:49
Speaker 1: grand jury is and why it's so rare?
0:52
Speaker 2: Well, it's rare. You know, a few cities around the
0:55
Speaker 2: country have convened special grand juries to investigate specific crime.
1:00
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's a special grand jury, for instance Larry and
1:03
Speaker 2: Curtis to investigate organized crime. We don't know specifically why
1:09
Speaker 2: this special grand jury was convened. We don't know how
1:12
Speaker 2: long this special grand jury will be the duration of it.
1:15
Speaker 2: Typically they're around eighteen months or so. But during the
1:19
Speaker 2: course of its duration, it can investigate not just one,
1:22
Speaker 2: but a number of matters that the US Attorney for
1:27
Speaker 2: the District of Columbia chooses to bring to the special
1:30
Speaker 2: grand jury. And perhaps Jeanine Pirout feels that she can
1:34
Speaker 2: have better luck with a special grand jury and the
1:37
Speaker 2: process that is contained in that rather than what she
1:41
Speaker 2: has experienced through the regular grand jury process. You know,
1:46
Speaker 2: she has not been successful in terms of some high
1:49
Speaker 2: profile cases brought by the US Attorney's office. The case
1:53
Speaker 2: against Jerome Powe, for instance, Larry and Curtis, the former
1:57
Speaker 2: FED chairman, that didn't go anywhere. And the case against
2:01
Speaker 2: those five Democratic senators for making that video that seems
2:05
Speaker 2: that seem to urge service members to ignore what they
2:09
Speaker 2: viewed as unlawful orders, that too went nowhere as well.
2:13
Speaker 1: One just for real quick follow up, because I understand
2:17
Speaker 1: that even without bringing charges, they can release a detailed
2:22
Speaker 1: public report regarding, for instance, if it has to do
2:25
Speaker 1: with government or official misconduct, even if the evidence does
2:29
Speaker 1: not result in a criminal indictment. That that seems unconstitutional,
2:35
Speaker 1: you know, to be able to defame somebody without bringing charges.
2:39
Speaker 2: Well, I've seen that before. Special counsels, you know that term.
2:42
Speaker 2: Special councils have released reports before. Sometimes they do not
2:47
Speaker 2: end up charging specific individuals, but contained in the narrative
2:51
Speaker 2: of a special council's report sometimes evidence they believe of
2:56
Speaker 2: crimes being committed. You know, we saw that with Robert
2:59
Speaker 2: mullerfren instance, Robert Muther seemed to indicate crimes may have
3:02
Speaker 2: been committed by then President Donald Trump in his first term,
3:07
Speaker 2: but nothing became of that. So this is not that unusual.
3:11
Speaker 2: But I think that this really when you think about it,
3:14
Speaker 2: with what has happened over the course of the past
3:16
Speaker 2: few weeks with the reflecting pool area, I think it's
3:19
Speaker 2: really a way to modify President Trump to convene this
3:23
Speaker 2: special grand jury, and we'll see if indeed that satisfies
3:26
Speaker 2: the president.
3:27
Speaker 3: John Dekker, where are we with the ballroom? You're right there.
3:31
Speaker 3: There's construction going on all the time. I think a
3:33
Speaker 3: federal judge put a moratorium on it. Has the President
3:38
Speaker 3: observed that or is he just putting his hard hat
3:41
Speaker 3: on and pushing ahead.
3:45
Speaker 2: Well, there are two cranes that are outside on the
3:47
Speaker 2: south lawn every day when I go to the White House,
3:50
Speaker 2: and one of those cranes has to do with construction
3:53
Speaker 2: of the ballroom. Now, construction above ground concerning the ballroom
3:58
Speaker 2: has ceased. That's her restraining order imposed by a federal judge.
4:03
Speaker 2: Actually that judge my former law professor, and that was
4:07
Speaker 2: upheld by the way, by the d C. Circuit Court
4:09
Speaker 2: of Appeals. But construction continues below ground. That's where the
4:13
Speaker 2: White House says. There are certain security features that are
4:17
Speaker 2: being put in place at the White House that that
4:21
Speaker 2: federal judge is allowing to continue.
4:23
Speaker 1: Can we talk about Caroline Levitt a little bit, because
4:26
Speaker 1: you've dealt with her a lot, and I thought she
4:28
Speaker 1: was excellent at her job, the youngest person ever to
4:32
Speaker 1: have that job, and now she's going off to be
4:35
Speaker 1: a mom. A couple of questions, just first your your
4:39
Speaker 1: reaction to that, and how what you think about Caroline
4:43
Speaker 1: Levitt and also who might replace her.
4:46
Speaker 2: Well, I was surprised, just like everybody when I saw
4:48
Speaker 2: that social media post by President Trump yesterday. Caroline Levitt
4:52
Speaker 2: just came back from eternity leave a few weeks ago. Really,
4:56
Speaker 2: I think she's conducted two briefings since she's been back.
4:59
Speaker 2: And then we get this surprise announcement that she's leaving
5:02
Speaker 2: the White House at the end of this month. She
5:04
Speaker 2: has been a forceful defender of President Trump, loyal certainly,
5:10
Speaker 2: not only working for him since day one as his
5:13
Speaker 2: press secretary of his second term, but also working in
5:16
Speaker 2: his first term as well, and serving as the press
5:18
Speaker 2: secretary for the Trump twenty twenty four presidential campaign. So
5:22
Speaker 2: she's devoted a chunk of her life to President Donald Trump.
5:27
Speaker 2: So she is leaving at the end of the month.
5:29
Speaker 2: As for a replacement, I've seen some names mentioned, but
5:33
Speaker 2: they're just names, you know. Monica Crowley is one of
5:36
Speaker 2: those names that does work for the administration right now.
5:40
Speaker 2: She is a possibility. She has the kind of experience
5:44
Speaker 2: that would be necessary to be the White House Press secretary,
5:47
Speaker 2: formerly serving as a commentator on Fox News. And you know, look,
5:51
Speaker 2: I think that whoever it is that the President names
5:54
Speaker 2: to replace Caroline Levitt is going to have some big
5:57
Speaker 2: shoes to fill because she really did think to do it.
6:01
Speaker 2: She did an excellent job serving as the White House
6:03
Speaker 2: Press Secretary for the past eighteen months.
6:05
Speaker 3: Now let me take you back, because you've seen them
6:07
Speaker 3: all come and go. I have first term in office,
6:11
Speaker 3: Poor Sean Spicer right out of the box when confronted
6:15
Speaker 3: with pictures of Morocco Obama's inauguration, and obviously President Trump's
6:21
Speaker 3: had to somehow defend that. No, Trump actually had more people,
6:25
Speaker 3: he just was never given an opportunity to have oxygen
6:29
Speaker 3: have to And then the mooch, Scott Scaramucci, what was
6:33
Speaker 3: that like ten days? And then Carine Jean Pierre, even
6:37
Speaker 3: though she was Biden's spokesperson. You know what they all
6:41
Speaker 3: three have in common. I don't know if you ever
6:43
Speaker 3: figured this out, John Decca. They all came out of
6:45
Speaker 3: Long Island, born, raised, went to school. I would suggest
6:49
Speaker 3: maybe there'd be a prohibition on having anybody from Long
6:52
Speaker 3: Island speak on bef of whoever the president is.
6:56
Speaker 2: Oh, that's too funny. I never knew that connection. That's
6:59
Speaker 2: pretty funny.
7:00
Speaker 1: Yeah.
7:00
Speaker 2: Caroline Levitt is the seventeenth White House Press secretary that
7:04
Speaker 2: I have dealt with, so I've seen a lot ago.
7:06
Speaker 2: I put her certainly in the top tier of White
7:10
Speaker 2: House Press secretaries in terms of the job that she
7:13
Speaker 2: did defending the president. And she was one of those
7:16
Speaker 2: people who sat in on meetings. You know, sometimes people
7:19
Speaker 2: like Karine Jean Pierre. They're on the outside looking in,
7:23
Speaker 2: and they may not actually know what is actually happening
7:26
Speaker 2: in the West wing. That's not the case with Caroline Levitt.
7:29
Speaker 2: She knew and was involved in policy discussions every step
7:33
Speaker 2: of the way. So, like I said, some big shoes
7:35
Speaker 2: to fill. Whoever it is that ultimately is the replacement
7:38
Speaker 2: for Caroline Levitt.
7:40
Speaker 1: Seventeen press secretaries. How old are you? You're like Doriam
7:44
Speaker 1: Gray said, I'm seeing you. You look like you're in
7:48
Speaker 1: your twenties. Thank you. You're not going to say you're
7:52
Speaker 1: age yes, now, okay, now, John Deka one quick question
7:56
Speaker 1: on that.
7:56
Speaker 3: I noticed as she steps down. Obviously she just recently
8:01
Speaker 3: had another child. She's always smiling. So even when she's
8:06
Speaker 3: giving a gatling gun response and a tough fans on
8:11
Speaker 3: behalf of the president, she's always smiling. This seems to
8:14
Speaker 3: be the new political way, whether you're zorn mondami El said,
8:19
Speaker 3: or in this case the outgoing spokesperson for the president,
8:22
Speaker 3: maybe as part of the younger generation, no matter how
8:25
Speaker 3: bad the news, no matter how vitriolic you are, you
8:29
Speaker 3: always have a smile at the end of it.
8:32
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I think that's what made her good,
8:34
Speaker 2: you know, and that's what made her effective as a
8:36
Speaker 2: White House Press secretary. She was amiable, you know. And look,
8:42
Speaker 2: I've been friends with Caroline for a number of years.
8:46
Speaker 2: She sent me a text yesterday, and you know, I'm
8:49
Speaker 2: sad to see her go. I know she'll be successful
8:52
Speaker 2: in terms of whatever she decides to do. She's run
8:54
Speaker 2: for Congress before, a reminder, so I don't think we've
8:57
Speaker 2: seen the last of Caroline Levitt in terms of public service.
9:00
Speaker 2: I would not be surprised at all to see her,
9:04
Speaker 2: you know, in elective public office representing the state of
9:08
Speaker 2: New Hampshire, her home state.
9:10
Speaker 1: You know, I think that Donald Trump's worst nightmare is
9:13
Speaker 1: coming through and coming true, I should say, And this
9:17
Speaker 1: Iran conflict war is going to stretch into the midterms
9:22
Speaker 1: in September. Do you see an end in sight? Because
9:26
Speaker 1: I'm not seeing it. No, I don't.
9:29
Speaker 3: You know.
9:30
Speaker 2: The President may want to see an end an off ramp,
9:33
Speaker 2: but the problem, of course is Iran really wants to
9:37
Speaker 2: impact the midterm elections. And for that reason, I think
9:41
Speaker 2: that what we see that's been taking place over the
9:44
Speaker 2: course of the past few weeks, past few months, in
9:47
Speaker 2: terms of the inability of cargo ships and oil tankers
9:51
Speaker 2: to get through the straight up fromous. I think that
9:53
Speaker 2: continues all the way through early November when the midterm
9:56
Speaker 2: elections take place.
9:58
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's a new campaign slogan, vote against Trump,
10:02
Speaker 1: vote with Ron.
10:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go. But now, John, as more information
10:08
Speaker 3: leaks out, as the Trump administration acknowledges the switch that
10:12
Speaker 3: took place from Air Force one the old one, to
10:16
Speaker 3: the container to obviously a special flight, and then back
10:21
Speaker 3: to the gift from Qatar once he left England, do
10:26
Speaker 3: we know what the exact threat was, because now I'm
10:29
Speaker 3: noticing when I read Israeli publications as saying that the
10:33
Speaker 3: Israelis had given a heads up to the Secret Service
10:38
Speaker 3: that there was an imminent threat opposed to the President
10:41
Speaker 3: while he was at that NATO conference in Turkey.
10:45
Speaker 2: Well, the concern was of a shoulder fired missile. Keep
10:49
Speaker 2: in mind I made this point before that Ankara, which
10:52
Speaker 2: is where the President was for the NATO summit and
10:55
Speaker 2: was leaving from and route to the UK, is only
10:59
Speaker 2: a thought miles from Tehran, and Iran has missiles that
11:03
Speaker 2: are capable of traveling twenty five hundred miles, So there
11:07
Speaker 2: was a real concern about the safety, the security of
11:12
Speaker 2: the mode of transportation that the President used to depart
11:15
Speaker 2: Turkey just a few weeks ago, and that was the
11:18
Speaker 2: reason why the Secret Service essentially put that mission in
11:22
Speaker 2: motion to switch the President to a third plane. I
11:25
Speaker 2: asked the President the other night when we came back
11:28
Speaker 2: on Air Force one. I was on the new Air
11:30
Speaker 2: Force one and I asked the President, where you surprised
11:32
Speaker 2: that the Secret Service directed you to take that third plane?
11:35
Speaker 2: And the President said, no, I have a target on
11:37
Speaker 2: my back. You know, Iran wants to kill me. I'm
11:40
Speaker 2: a consequential president. And so that's the way the President
11:43
Speaker 2: views things, and that's the way the President viewed that
11:46
Speaker 2: particular situation in Ancora, Turkey, just a few weeks ago.
11:49
Speaker 1: John Decker Worr White House in Washington correspondence, Thanks a lot,
11:53
Speaker 1: taught to you next week. Have a good weekend.
11:55
Speaker 2: Thanks so much, you too, Bye bye.
11:56
Speaker 3: When we come back.
11:58
Speaker 1: Every woman that loses jewelry, my god, it's like the
12:01
Speaker 1: end of the world. But sometimes there's a happy ending.
12:04
Speaker 1: And this happy ending was in a dump in New
12:08
Speaker 1: York City. We'll explain when we come back. Plus a
12:11
Speaker 1: chance to see John Fogerty and Steve Winwood at A
12:14
Speaker 1: twenty five.
12:15
Speaker 3: As you know, over the last two days I mentioned
12:18
Speaker 3: while my wife Nancy lone wolf one was baying to
12:21
Speaker 3: the moon because of the total eclipse of the sun
12:25
Speaker 3: in Europe and then the meteorites flying through the air,
12:30
Speaker 3: I was hunting those porch bandits stealing packages by day
12:35
Speaker 3: in my neighborhood and those in the wee hours of
12:39
Speaker 3: the morning before I arrive here, stealing mail out of
12:43
Speaker 3: the blue mailboxes. So far I've been successful. Word has
12:46
Speaker 3: gotten out you don't want to mess with Sleewood. And
12:49
Speaker 3: I've also taken on all those scammers who send you
12:53
Speaker 3: spam calls and spam texts twenty four to seven, three
12:57
Speaker 3: sixty five. Man, I bet you this has affected you
12:59
Speaker 3: and people you knowing, people you love, and you don't
13:03
Speaker 3: know how to answer them, Like, how the hell did
13:05
Speaker 3: they get all this information? They got my phone number,
13:08
Speaker 3: they got my home address, my email, family members, political affiliations,
13:14
Speaker 3: even where I do my banking. Well, guess what, it's
13:16
Speaker 3: all legal. These are databanks. They bundle up your information
13:21
Speaker 3: and they'll sell it to anybody, including criminals. So you
13:24
Speaker 3: got to protect yourself the way I have with Incogniti.
13:28
Speaker 3: That's I ncog and I get a pair and a pen.
13:31
Speaker 3: I'll spell it again for you, because what they do
13:34
Speaker 3: is they put up a firewall by informing these data banks. Legally,
13:40
Speaker 3: you leave our client alone, you don't be spreading information
13:44
Speaker 3: on them any longer. And then they monitor it because
13:47
Speaker 3: they know it's like whack them. Oh yeah, yeah, okay,
13:49
Speaker 3: we won't and then they know they're gonna do it again,
13:51
Speaker 3: and they're all over them. Like Wynn Rice in Cogni
13:55
Speaker 3: sends the legal removal requests. So if all of a sudden,
14:00
Speaker 3: scammers can't find you, they can't target you. If spammers
14:04
Speaker 3: can't find you, they can't bother you. Go to incognity
14:07
Speaker 3: dot com slash curtis save sixty when you sign up,
14:11
Speaker 3: get your friends and relatives to sign up too. That's
14:14
Speaker 3: coog ni dot com slash curtis Wow. New York City
14:20
Speaker 3: Sanitation Department. They never get credit out of the uniform services.
14:26
Speaker 3: We look to the police obviously, the firefighters, ah, the
14:29
Speaker 3: others who don't get attention, or the correctional officers. They
14:32
Speaker 3: have the worst job. But you're sanitation guy, you're always
14:36
Speaker 3: catching it or gal, Yeah, hey, you left garbage in
14:40
Speaker 3: the front. But there's always complaints. You never get praised.
14:43
Speaker 3: But Larry, I've seen sanitation Cruise do this before when
14:49
Speaker 3: people come running out to the truck. You know the compact, yes,
14:53
Speaker 3: squeezes everything. This is worse than that. And something was
14:57
Speaker 3: in the trash that they put out that they desperately
15:01
Speaker 3: and I've seen them open it up and start going
15:03
Speaker 3: through bags, right they on the show. Yeah, but this
15:05
Speaker 3: made it to the dump. Let me tell you the story.
15:08
Speaker 3: It's a Brooklyn couple, right, and the woman was cleaning
15:11
Speaker 3: so she took off two air lom heirloom diamond rings
15:15
Speaker 3: that had been in her family forever and she put
15:18
Speaker 3: them down on the counter. But then when she was
15:21
Speaker 3: cleaning up everything, she accidentally threw them out and she
15:24
Speaker 3: didn't realize for a couple hours later the trash was
15:27
Speaker 3: picked up, so it frantically she and her husband they
15:32
Speaker 3: called and they said, you know, the sanitation guys were great,
15:36
Speaker 3: They said, come to the dump, come to the dump.
15:38
Speaker 3: They were able to isolate the truck so they were
15:41
Speaker 3: able to find out exactly where it was dump. But
15:44
Speaker 3: we're still talking about twenty thousand pounds of putred rubbish.
15:51
Speaker 3: So a couple of the sanitation workers helped the husband.
15:54
Speaker 3: Now they're not giving out their names. Should they should?
15:58
Speaker 3: They should have a ceremony in city them.
16:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so too. Now I'm not talking about
16:02
Speaker 1: the sanitation workers. I'm talking about the family. The name
16:04
Speaker 1: given out because I guess they don't want you to know.
16:06
Speaker 1: They have two air log heirloom rings that are very valuable.
16:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't do all that safe.
16:15
Speaker 1: But the husband's first name is Victor, and he describes
16:18
Speaker 1: getting to the dump.
16:19
Speaker 4: So when they dump out the trash, like my first
16:24
Speaker 4: thought was like, oh my god, I don't want to
16:27
Speaker 4: do this because there's roaches and and and the garbage
16:32
Speaker 4: is literally steaming. And then every bag you touched it's
16:35
Speaker 4: already torn in at least some area.
16:38
Speaker 3: So like this is impossible.
16:40
Speaker 4: And this guy Havier like he's like helping me search,
16:43
Speaker 4: and then I hear him whistle.
16:44
Speaker 3: He's like standing in the doorway of the garage.
16:46
Speaker 4: I could see like his white teeth like smiling like joyfully,
16:50
Speaker 4: and he's holding something in sand.
16:51
Speaker 5: I was like, there's no.
16:52
Speaker 1: Way, Yeah, it was the two rings. He found the
16:55
Speaker 1: two rings. It was a miracle. You know how long
16:57
Speaker 1: it took him ten minutes. He found those two rings
17:01
Speaker 1: in ten minutes. Now we don't have his name. We
17:04
Speaker 1: should have his name. You're absolutely right. That is kind
17:06
Speaker 1: of amazing. And look, they deserve all the credit in
17:10
Speaker 1: the world for the job they do, but now they're heroes.
17:14
Speaker 3: Talk back.
17:15
Speaker 6: Yes, I think we need an executive order right away
17:18
Speaker 6: to ensure that Ahole sees frozen embryos never run for office,
17:24
Speaker 6: because I gotta believe that they'll be even dumber than
17:27
Speaker 6: she is.
17:29
Speaker 3: Well, do you know what he called her?
17:31
Speaker 1: Do you hear what he called her?
17:32
Speaker 7: Oh?
17:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, she's proven not to be all that dumb.
17:36
Speaker 3: She knows definitely how to get her messages out and
17:39
Speaker 3: that holds a lot of way.
17:42
Speaker 7: Pop tarts, really, those things. Has anybody figured out what
17:48
Speaker 7: they're made of? Because I know there's some kind of
17:51
Speaker 7: sugar with coloring in the middle, But what the heck
17:55
Speaker 7: is that on the outside of a pop tart? It's
17:58
Speaker 7: not bred, it's not a crocker. What is it? It's
18:03
Speaker 7: some anomalous nonsense and it tastes horrible. I don't know
18:07
Speaker 7: what you guys are talking about.
18:09
Speaker 1: Are you an American? It tastes horrible. A pop tart
18:13
Speaker 1: taste horrible. It is one of the most delicious. It's
18:17
Speaker 1: one of the best things that happened when you're a kid,
18:20
Speaker 1: when you get a pop tart and I don't care
18:22
Speaker 1: what it's made of.
18:23
Speaker 3: Well, if I remember correctly, when I had one, when
18:26
Speaker 3: Lee Rosen gave me one at lunch, it was Kelloak's product,
18:30
Speaker 3: right from Battle Creek, Michigan. Yeah, but my mom, Franceshka
18:35
Speaker 3: did a Robert F. Kennedy Jr. No, there's too much
18:38
Speaker 3: sugar in that. We're not having pop touch in this
18:40
Speaker 3: shouse and you better not be eating pop t now.
18:43
Speaker 3: She was maha before there was mahaa. Absolutely, but she's right,
18:46
Speaker 3: sugar is a killer.
18:47
Speaker 1: That guy that calls is the coolest voice in the world.
18:51
Speaker 1: He calls all of the time, and I usually love
18:53
Speaker 1: his calls. But now he's anti pop tart.
18:55
Speaker 3: Want to bet that he smokes those new portmanteaus.
19:00
Speaker 1: Oh sure, he hates pop tarts, yet it will He'll
19:02
Speaker 1: smoke men fall cigarettes.
19:04
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm just surmising. Hit. You got that word, Chris surmise.

19:34
Speaker 8: Dari, what's your favorite pop tart flavor? Oh, raspberry solid,
19:39

19:44
Speaker 3: It's sweet, Yeah, it's very sweet.
19:47
Speaker 1: Ready for the sugar rush.
19:48
Speaker 8: It's it's so hard to find lately. I find the chocolate.
19:51
Speaker 8: I've actually found the vanilla, but I haven't found the chocolate. Wait,
19:53
Speaker 8: you've been searching for it every now and then. I
19:56
Speaker 8: have to have one, so I do look for them.
19:59
Speaker 8: It's gonna be sunny the most part today. Chance for
20:01
Speaker 8: a shower before it's all over. In a high of
20:04

20:14
Speaker 8: New York Governor Kathy Hochel says the state will not
20:17
Speaker 8: turn their backs on any of them that are here.
20:20
Speaker 5: Es cruel, depraved decisions, commit a death warrant for our
20:24

Speaker 8: Inmates at Rikers Island are now suing the jail.

Speaker 9: The group alleges that the jail routinely denies outdoor recreation time,
21:06
Speaker 9: saying they would go weeks without feeling the sun touched
21:08
Speaker 9: their face. Rikers records show one plaintiff, Peter Purna, when
21:12
Speaker 9: thirty three days of a forty day stretch without having
21:15
Speaker 9: outdoor access last year, saying it takes a toll on
21:19
Speaker 9: mental health. Jail records cited staff shortages as the reason.
21:22
Speaker 9: Prisoners were not given time outside. However, civil rights attorneys
21:27
Speaker 9: say daily recreation is not just a matter of treating
21:30
Speaker 9: prisoners humanely, but also insures safety. Natalie mcgliori wo R News.

22:05
Speaker 1: When we come back, We're gonna deep dive into the
22:07
Speaker 1: Wisconsin and Michigan primaries this week because there was something
22:11
Speaker 1: fishy going on. You know. Steve Karnaky, the guy talks
22:15
Speaker 1: a mile a minute, has always been in front of
22:17
Speaker 1: the maps. He's he was Harry Enton before there was
22:20
Speaker 1: a Harry Enton. Even he was flabbergasted. We'll let you
22:24
Speaker 1: hear for yourself when we come right back.
22:31
Speaker 3: Ah, let me tell you. And remember I had a
22:34
Speaker 3: nose for that. Remember didn't I say, twenty eight thousand
22:39
Speaker 3: absentee valach not counted in the city of Milwaukee because
22:43
Speaker 3: of a manual era on the part of a human.
22:47
Speaker 3: What does that suggest? Well, anyway, if you got business,
22:52
Speaker 3: you could have a manual era, you could have a
22:55
Speaker 3: computer era, and that can ultimately be fixed. But if
22:59
Speaker 3: all all of a sudden, it's an act of Mother Earth,
23:03
Speaker 3: if it's an act of weather that we've been colobbored
23:06
Speaker 3: with all summer long, with unbelievable heat and humidity taking
23:10
Speaker 3: a toll on your business, your structure, your edifice, or
23:13

24:27
Speaker 3: left Michigan, where Elsaid had underperformed what the polls had
24:32
Speaker 3: said he would do against the congresswoman. He only won
24:36
Speaker 3: by one percent, and there was no grumbling and no
24:39
Speaker 3: rumbling afterwards by the losing candidate to its unity. Okay,
24:44
Speaker 3: we all got to get together because the bigger issue
24:47
Speaker 3: for us is Donald Trump and the Republicans and election denial.
24:51
Speaker 3: Because the guy running Mike Rogers is now onto the
24:54
Speaker 3: election denial bandwagon. Okay. So he come over to Wisconsin
24:59
Speaker 3: and all the report orders are there and they're seeing
25:01
Speaker 3: that one week before the Democratic primary takes place, that
25:07
Speaker 3: this woman hung has a double digit lead, just one
25:13
Speaker 3: week before the eventual winner, barely winner, the county executive
25:19
Speaker 3: of Milwaukee County Crowley, his internal poll said he was
25:23
Speaker 3: down by eighteen percent. And internal polls are important because
25:28
Speaker 3: when you're running for office, there are so many polls.
25:30
Speaker 3: Now you wonder, but an internal poll that you're going
25:33
Speaker 3: to do yourself should put you in a good light.
25:35
Speaker 3: His own poll said he was eighteen percent down, and
25:39
Speaker 3: most polls said she would win with forty percent. She
25:43
Speaker 3: actually got thirty nine percent, so that part of the
25:45
Speaker 3: poll wasn't wrong. What contributed to her loss barely by
25:51
Speaker 3: the skin of her teeth, was the last minute endorsement
25:55
Speaker 3: of a very favorable governor. Evers, he went out there
25:58
Speaker 3: on the stump, he was seen even more than Crowley.
26:00
Speaker 3: He was promoting. Crowley had said he had a tremendous
26:04
Speaker 3: approval record, but he wasn't running for a third term.
26:07
Speaker 3: And then in the exit polls, even though as a
26:10
Speaker 3: proud DSA candidate, she wasn't running away from that like
26:13
Speaker 3: l Sie, No, I'm a capitalist, I'm not a socialist. Bullshnizzle.
26:18
Speaker 3: She defended the DSA. So when it came to no prisons, absolutely,
26:23
Speaker 3: no support for the police department, absolutely, that was not
26:27
Speaker 3: costing her with the voters. It turns out, when all
26:30
Speaker 3: was said and done, after months and months of campaigning,
26:34
Speaker 3: the one issue that swayed voters she hated Thanksgiving, thought
26:40
Speaker 3: it honored colonialist And that's where the crossover vote benefited
26:45
Speaker 3: Crowley just barely. Remember he wins by zero point four percent,
26:50
Speaker 3: but that's enough, and she doesn't have the money to
26:52
Speaker 3: do a recount. And I think there was like an
26:54
Speaker 3: understanding of quid pro cal whoever wins, no matter what
26:58
Speaker 3: to count. We have to, you know, we have to
27:00
Speaker 3: show party unity because if we go at one another,
27:03
Speaker 3: it's going to be a disaster. But remember what I
27:06
Speaker 3: said Larry that night. Well, actually in the next morning,
27:09
Speaker 3: I said, wait a second, there's twenty eight thousand absentee
27:13
Speaker 3: ballots in the city of Milwaukee, which is corrupt to
27:16
Speaker 3: its the marrow of the bone. You got blacks in
27:19
Speaker 3: North Milwaukee, Hispanics in South Milwaukee, and you have a
27:23
Speaker 3: lot of the students and the white collar white workers
27:26
Speaker 3: downtown twenty eight th absentee ballots that were not counted
27:33
Speaker 3: according to the experts. They said because it was a
27:36
Speaker 3: manual glitch in the counting of the absentee ballots. Right away,
27:42
Speaker 3: it says corruption. They're trying to fix this election. Obviously,
27:46
Speaker 3: not for Hong, but for Crowley because he used the
27:49
Speaker 3: county executive he has more control over that apparatus. And
27:54
Speaker 3: if they'd have been a republ if this said had
27:56
Speaker 3: been against the Republicans right away, the Republicans would have screened,
27:59
Speaker 3: you're trying to fix the election. But the people quiat
28:03
Speaker 3: they did fix the election, understood, but the hung people
28:06
Speaker 3: were quiet.
28:07
Speaker 1: Here's the amazing thing. So you know, everybody knows Steve
28:10
Speaker 1: Konaki that follows politics. Steve Karanaki has been in front
28:14
Speaker 1: of the board for NBC forever. You see him on
28:18
Speaker 1: the Sunday morning shows during the election, you see him
28:21
Speaker 1: on Election Night, during this the primaries. He's been online
28:26
Speaker 1: for NBC. Now if you're wondering why you don't see
28:28
Speaker 1: him anymore. By the way, Harry Enton is a ripoff
28:31
Speaker 1: of Steve Karanaki. Steve Karanaki made that a thing he's
28:35
Speaker 1: the guy that always has his jacket off and his
28:37
Speaker 1: tie pulled down, and he looks like he's frantic because
28:40
Speaker 1: he's getting numbers in his ear. So he did that
28:44
Speaker 1: all night, and I want you to hear one small
28:47
Speaker 1: part of it, and I'm only playing a small part
28:50
Speaker 1: because a lot of it was dead air. He was dumbfounded.
28:53
Speaker 1: He knew what was going on. He knew that they
28:56
Speaker 1: were cheating, but he just couldn't come out and say
29:00
Speaker 1: because a few times he went to say something and
29:02
Speaker 1: he held back. At one point he even said one,
29:05
Speaker 1: but he even said, how do I say this artfully?
29:08
Speaker 1: And then he never said anything. But this is when
29:11
Speaker 1: he first heard about that it was happening in Milwaukee
29:15
Speaker 1: and that they had a problem apparently with delivering computer sticks.
29:20
Speaker 1: And when he got the news, this was his first reaction,
29:24
Speaker 1: you're serious, Okay.
29:34
Speaker 3: You know what the fix was in?
29:36
Speaker 1: He absolutely knew the fix was in. That went on
29:39
Speaker 1: for a while and I've never seen that so much
29:44
Speaker 1: dead air on a broadcast. He was dumbfounded that it
29:48
Speaker 1: was happening, and the fact that it was so blatant
29:52
Speaker 1: that they were going to cheat and they were going
29:55
Speaker 1: to take this away from.
29:56
Speaker 3: Her and Han's people took the Coot of Omanta the
30:00
Speaker 3: very next morning. Remember it was Kumbaya, peace, love and happiness.
30:04
Speaker 3: How can I help you get elected the next governor Crowley,
30:07
Speaker 3: I'm saying to myself, if I'm a hung supported, they've
30:10
Speaker 3: been out there for months, there would have been more
30:11
Speaker 3: of them than all the others combined. I'm gonna be
30:14
Speaker 3: saying to my kennidate, Hey, we gotta fight. They stole
30:17
Speaker 3: the election from us.
30:19
Speaker 1: There was no discussion, No, there wasn't.
30:22
Speaker 3: But you know what this is gonna do.
30:23
Speaker 1: And I want to say this quickly because I want
30:24
Speaker 1: to get make sure we get to Natalie Migliori on time.
30:28
Speaker 1: But everybody who's talked about election interference and stolen elections
30:34
Speaker 1: in the past are now gonna go, h look at that,
30:37
Speaker 1: Look at Michigan. When we come back, we're gonna talk
30:42
Speaker 1: to Natalie meghli Ory. Oh, and I stole about New Jersey?
30:48
Speaker 1: How about this New Jersey being ranked the second best state?
30:53
Speaker 1: And what was Curtis's reaction that played in the promo
30:56
Speaker 1: over and over again? Are you freaking kidding me? Natalie's

31:48
Speaker 3: put out yesterday.
31:49
Speaker 1: Of the top states in the country to live in,
31:52
Speaker 1: and they went from affordability to safety, many things, schools, education,
31:57
Speaker 1: and number two in the country after Idaho was New Jersey.
32:04
Speaker 1: So how did New Yorkers and people from New Jersey
32:06
Speaker 1: feel about that? Let's get the Natalie Migliori right away
32:09
Speaker 1: with her Beat on the Street.
32:10
Speaker 3: Good morning, Natalie, Good morning gentlemen.
32:14
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's very easy to find New jersey Ins and
32:17
Speaker 10: New Yorkers in the city of New York because we
32:21
Speaker 10: go back and forth all the time between the two states.
32:24
Speaker 10: There are a lot of people do so. According to
32:26
Speaker 10: this new study, Ida is the first best place to
32:29
Speaker 10: live in the nation because it took into account fifty
32:32
Speaker 10: one key metrics and it comes out on top for
32:36
Speaker 10: its low real estate tax and highest median income growth.
32:40
Speaker 10: But number two close to the home right, New Jersey.
32:44
Speaker 10: And maybe that's because of its lowest crime rate in
32:48
Speaker 10: the country and high scores for quality of life and
32:52
Speaker 10: proximity to major economic cubs like the places we live, guys,
32:57
Speaker 10: because we don't live in these places New York and Philly, right,
33:01
Speaker 10: So what do people around here think?
33:08
Speaker 3: Surprising but not surprising.
33:09
Speaker 1: It is a good place to live.
33:11
Speaker 3: I think I have everything in terms of a lifestyle.
33:14
Speaker 2: It can have.
33:14
Speaker 3: Actually, it can go to the you feel like outdoors,
33:17
Speaker 3: if you like to hike, if you have to work there,
33:20
Speaker 3: everything's convenient.
33:21
Speaker 1: The roads are better than New York, for sure.
33:24
Speaker 3: I'm happy where I'm at.
33:25
Speaker 1: Why do you think so many people are so happy
33:27
Speaker 1: with Jersey.
33:30
Speaker 7: I don't know if that's true.
33:32
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's a true statement. But I'm
33:35
Speaker 3: talking about myself. So, and I came from New York
33:38
Speaker 3: to go to Jersey, the beaches, the food, the people,
33:41
Speaker 3: my family. Well, I don't want to live in New Jersey.
33:45
Speaker 3: So I'm very happy living here in Manhattan, thank you
33:49
Speaker 3: very much.
33:52
Speaker 10: Yeah. So there's a mix of people, okay, but I
33:56
Speaker 10: appreciate the honesty from a brutal manhattanit. Okay, a lot
33:59
Speaker 10: of people telling me they left New York for New Jersey.
34:04
Speaker 10: And you know, New York isn't as far down on
34:06
Speaker 10: the list as you might think. It ranks number twelve.
34:10
Speaker 10: Do you know what actually ranks number one in guys
34:12
Speaker 10: on this study?
34:14
Speaker 1: Number one? What was I thought? It's Idaho? Right?
34:17
Speaker 10: No, no, no, but one of the metrics that it ranks
34:20
Speaker 10: number one in oh, quality of life in New York.
34:26
Speaker 3: What what are they talking about? Are these people on drugs?
34:29
Speaker 3: Or did the heads of Tourism and Occupation of your
34:35
Speaker 3: state Greece whoever was doing these uh these surveys?
34:39
Speaker 1: Well, what are you saying? Oh way, you're saying New
34:42
Speaker 1: Jersey shouldn't be the second.
34:44
Speaker 3: Est one safest place in America? Excuse me?
34:47
Speaker 1: I go by the crime rate?
34:48
Speaker 3: Yeah right, Camden Patterson, New York, Trenton. My god, even
34:54
Speaker 3: the state legislators want to get in and out of
34:56
Speaker 3: Trent right after a session because of the Blood's controlled trend.
34:59
Speaker 3: What are they talking about.
35:03
Speaker 1: For the entire state, it's the lowest in the country.
35:07
Speaker 3: For the entire state got nine million people. It's the
35:10
Speaker 3: most condensed place in America.
35:11
Speaker 10: That's what they say.
35:12
Speaker 3: How could the.
35:13
Speaker 11: Quality of life be great if you're living on top
35:16
Speaker 11: of one? And Wow, New Jersey is wonderful. I love, love,
35:20
Speaker 11: love lovel of New Jersey. I think I agree. I
35:22
Speaker 11: think it's the best state in America.
35:24
Speaker 3: They pick your pockets, New Jersey, Turnpike, Garden Stark. How
35:29
Speaker 3: you guys feel the property taxes.
35:33
Speaker 10: To New Yorkers? Think about how it all shook out.
35:38
Speaker 12: I can't really gauge her right now because New York
35:41
Speaker 12: is mad expensive. I guess that's why Jersey's number two.
35:45
Speaker 12: It's mad expensive, Alimia, it's about all augins Hey, it's money,
35:51
Speaker 12: some money thing.
35:51
Speaker 11: I think it's a little crazy that, you know, we
35:54
Speaker 11: can't really afford to live here.
35:56
Speaker 8: Live in New York for thirty years and now I
